2. Pre-Requisites

Students are required to have already passed Programming Fundamentals I and II, as well as Software Engineering I and Databases to have a minimum guarantee of passing this course. Those students who have not already passed these courses and are interesting in getting enrolled in Software Engineering II, should make a major effort to acquire the necessary knowledge and experience of software design and databases.

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

This subject pretends to offer a big picture of the Software Engineering processes and their relations to create work teams that develop information systems industrializing such processes, highlighting that this development is always cooperative and multidisciplinary.

For this aim, the subject introduces the concept of Software Lifecycle and describes a map of the processes necessary to develop software with a work team, explaining its enactment when different software development methodologies are used. 

In addition, some important development-supporting processes such as configuration management, quality management, test management and maintenance management will be also explained. All these processes will be grounded in open ISO standards, which will provide the student with a larger global vision, and probably, they will open some doors to interesting positions in any organization.

As result, it is expected that the student will be able to achieve the abilities and knowledge necessary to work as Software Engineer.

Moreover, it is important to highlight that this subject belong to the module of Software Engineering, Information Systems and Intelligent Systems of the curriculum and provides the basis for the subjects of the specialty of Software Engineering:

  • Requirements Engineering
  • Software Design
  • Process of Software Engineering
  • Quality of Software Engineering
  • Software Project Management
  • Databases Development
  • Enterprise Information Systems
  • Security of Software Systems

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Theoretical papers assessment 15.00% 15.00% Non-compulsory activity that can be retaken. To be carried out before end of teaching period
Laboratory sessions 25.00% 25.00% Compulsory activity that can be retaken. To be carried out during lab sessions. The students of non-continuous modality will be evaluated of this activity through an alternative system in the ordinary call
Assessment of active participation 10.00% 0.00% Non-compulsory activity that can be retaken (rescheduling). To be carried out in the theory/laboratory sessions for the students of the continuous modality. The students of non-continuous modality will be evaluated of this activity through an alternative system in the ordinary call
Test 25.00% 25.00%
Test 25.00% 25.00%
Total: 100.00% 90.00%  
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).

Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
  • Continuous assessment:
    In compulsory activities, a minimum mark of 40% is required in order to pass that activity and have the possibility to therefore pass the entire subject. The evaluation of the activities will be global and therefore must be quantified by means of a single mark. If the activity consists of several sections, each section may be evaluated separately provided students are informed in writing of this evaluation criterion at the beginning of the academic year. In the case of the activities that may be retaken (i.e., rescheduling), an alternative activity or test will be offered in the resit/retake exam call (convocatoria extraordinaria).
    The final exam will be common for all the theory/laboratory groups of the subject and will be evaluated by the lecturers of the subject in a serial way, i.e., each part of the final exam will be evaluated by the same lecturer for all the students.
    A student is considered to pass the subject if she/he obtains a minimum of 50 points out of 100, taking into account the points obtained in all the evaluable activities, and also has passed all the compulsory activities.
    For students who do not pass the subject in the final exam call (convocatoria ordinaria), the marks of activities already passed will be conserved for the resit/retake exam call (convocatoria extraordinaria). In the case of the passed recoverable activities, the student will have the opportunity to receive an alternative evaluation of those activities in the resit/retake exam call and, in that case, the final grade of the activity will correspond to the latter grade obtained.
    The marks of the passed activities in any call, except for the final exam, will be conserved for the subsequent academic year at the request of the student, provided that mark is equal or greater than 50% and that the activities and evaluation criteria of the subject remain unchanged prior to the beginning of that academic year.

    The failure of a student to attend the final exam will automatically result in her/him receiving a "Failure to attend" (no presentado). If the student has not passed any compulsory evaluation activity, the maximum final grade will be 40%.
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    Students who are unable to attend training activities on a regular basis may apply at the beginning of the semester for the non-continuous assessment mode. Similarly, if a student who is undergoing continuous assessment incurs any circumstance that prevents her/him from regularly attending the classroom-based training activities, she/he may renounce the accumulated mark in continuous assessment and apply for the non-continuous assessment mode. In this case, a notification by the student must be given before the date scheduled for the tests in the ordinary call, in accordance with a deadline that will be informed at the beginning of the semester.
    Students who take the non-continuous assessment mode will be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences), through the assessment systems indicated in the column "Non-continuous assessment".
    In the "non-continuous assessment" mode, it is not compulsory to keep the mark obtained by the student in the activities or tests (progress test or partial test) taken in the continuous assessment mode.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Evaluation tests will be conducted for all recoverable activities.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Same characteristics as the resit/retake exam call.
